From the atrocities of chattel slavery to the Memphis sanitation workers strike, labor history has always been connected to Black history.

Without the workers, Starbucks doesn’t run.
We Are Somebody stands in strong solidarity with @SBWorkersUnited in their fight for a contract with Starbucks.
From boycotting Target to Starbucks - withholding our purchase - we flex our power 💪😤
13 Nov 2025
As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

In March, We Are Somebody demanded congressional Democrats to call on Senator Schumer to step down.
At the time, we stated:
“Senate minority leader Schumer’s refusal to use the leverage Democrats had in negotiations with Republicans shows his leadership is not adequate.”
12 Nov 2025
UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Sounds like we need a…strike for ALL 👀

Mayor Brandon Johnson lit a fire in Chicago: it’s time for Americans to rise up in a general strike against the oligarchy.
We will fund our schools, jobs, healthcare, and transit—not their greed.
Democracy lives when we unite and take our fight to the streets. #FightOligarchy

In Cleveland on the picket line outside of @UHhospitals main campus to protest the unjust firing of Dr. Beene and Dr. Fouts-Fowler.
What did they do? They tried to unionize.
@UHhospitals, do the right thing. Bring the Doctors back and let your workers unionize.
